🪙 Assignment and novation
A novation is a transfer of rights or obligations under a contract from one party to another. This can be done with the consent of all parties to the contract, and may be necessary if the original party can no longer fulfill their obligations. An assignment, on the other hand, is a transfer of rights or obligations under a contract from one party to another without the consent of the other party or parties.
